I hope not! What a lame announcement "Look Games Day is here again and only 20 days to buy a ticket".

Pretty confident that's not it, as it says: ". . . be sure to stop by on Monday as we have a big announcement for you and plenty of great content..."

Now this comment was in the "What's New Today" section so we can assume they were alluding to checking said section for said big announcement. Your link is not in that section.

Although I am dissapointed it wasn't 40k something (didn't have to be DE, but a 40k update woulda been nice), that Skaven model is stunning.

Honestly, the only 40k update we'll be seeing for awhile is either going to be Dark Eldar or whatever the next army will be related.

They're going to be pushing Fantasy hard for awhile, and I say it's about time. 40k gets shoved down our throats pretty consistently.

I think the 'big announcement' was the unveiling of that shirtless dude with the fake beard. Totally better than a new DE codex.

What "hype"? They didn't tease up to it for months or even weeks.

I was expecting something lame and even then, this "announcement" completely outdid my expectations in being even more lame than that.

Well I was nearly right!

Models look nice but not too sure I would have made this a 'big announcement'.

Quite cool seeing the photos of the release day (especially that bloke on his wedding day! )

Nice, think I'll be using Spinetail as a Plauge Priest for my monks.

My wife is also happy with Althran, as its a High Elf she doesn't need to remove a helm from.

Is it just me or does the scabbard for Prince Althran's sword seem odd? Shouldn't it be much further back behind him? It almost looks like it is coming right out from under his tunic.

Im actually pleasantly suprised by the skaven hero. Hate the new skaven, but that guy has made the hatred go down. Now, if Isle of blood just happens to snag my interest, I may end up buying it.
